(8) Papilio troilus Linnaeus, Plate CXXI, rf 1 (The Spice- 

 bush Swallow-tail). 



The caterpillar, which is green, with two big eye-spots on the 

 back a little behind the head, lives on the foliage of the sassa- 

 fras and spice-wood, where it folds together a leaf, in which it 

 conceals itself from view during the daytime, coming out to 

 feed at night. The insect is found throughout the eastern 

 United States and the Mississippi Valley, wherever its food- 

 plant occurs. Expanse 3.75-4.25 inches.
